The Best Way to find ICT Jobs

It’s not through advertising or recruitment agencies.

How will you find your next role in ICT?

Will you scour Seek for particular job titles? Take a look at LinkedIn and follow companies you like? Perhaps you’ll sign up with a recruiter?

All of these are viable methods for finding a job in the ICT sector, but according to Craige Pendleton-Browne, Chief Technology Officer at Australian forex payment company OFX (formerly OzForex), there’s one method that beats all the others hands down: a personal recommendation.

In other words, it’s not necessarily about what you know, but who you know.

“Recommendations are wonderful because you’re getting a pre-qualified candidate,” he said. “If you’ve got a good person recommending someone, they’re usually recommending a good person. I love recommendations. I’d much rather go on a recommendation than anything else.”

Pendleton-Browne leads a team of almost 80 techies in the Sydney office and around the world. These employees work in product development and engineering in the fast-paced world of currency transfers.
